Big Springs, Nebraska-AP -- A bridge over Interstate 80 in western Nebraska has collapsed after a truck hit the support beams in the median -- killing the driver.

The governor's office says four semitrailers and one car are trapped under the rubble and that people have been injured in the crash and collapse near the Colorado border.

A Keith County official says they have been taken to a hospital in Julesburg, Colorado.

The Nebraska State Patrol says the interstate, a main route to Denver, is closed and traffic is being rerouted.

Authorities hope to reopen the roadway later Saturday morning, but that depends on whether it's been damaged by the debris.
